Verse 1
The promise we for Israel plead:
O that the once-beloved seed
Back to their Lord might come!
Now bid them look on thee, and mourn;
Where’er dispers’d, collect, and turn,
And bring thy wanderers home.

Verse 2
To Jews the gospel-faith impart,
And pastors after thine own heart,
Thine ancient flock to feed
With knowledge of the crucified,
The God who by their malice died,
And suffer’d in their stead.
